CIDM 2014 - The 5th International Workshop on Computational Intelligence for Disaster Management (CIDM 2014)

Following last years' successes, the scope of CIDM-2014 is to demonstrate the increased applicability and impact of computational intelligence in satisfying the disaster's management domain challenging requirements. Finally, CIDM-2014 aims to provide a forum for original discussion and prompt future directions in the emerging area.
Topics
Papers should be focused on past, current and emerging methods and/or use of technologies with a particular focus to the computational intelligence in the decision-making required for managing disasters.
